“Nihonkan, run by a mother and daughter, offers an authentic ryokan experience just steps from Kyoto Station, providing an oasis of calm amidst the bustling city; the traditional rooms with tatami mats and futon beds add to the cultural immersion. I think it's an ideal choice for travellers seeking genuine Japanese hospitality.”
